The campsite was very clean when we arrived. The man at the front gate explained everything very throughly because it was my first time ever going camping

Great place to camp. Right next to the water. My kids and I love it here. Restroom and hot shower are clean. Washer and dryer are available. Will come back again if we have the chance to be back in the area.

Very well maintained campground with generously spaced sites most of which have lake views. The bathhouses were a little dated but clean. The employees in the guard shack we’re especially nice and informative. Will definitely return!
